Quotes 

• Daisy : Before the war I used my willpower for stupid stuff, like not eating chocolate. I think I thought if I could control myself, then maybe the world around me would start to make sense. I guess I was pretty naive back then.

• [last lines] 

  Daisy : It's like I said all that time ago, if the world doesn't end I wanna be here at home, with you. And that's how I live now.

• Daisy : No one calls me Elizabeth. Except my dad, and he's an asshole. So if you don't mind, my name is Daisy.

• [first lines] 

  Daisy : Imagine yourself being successful.

• Daisy : Well, I think my dad's probably trying to get through to me, so...

  Piper : [sitting clueless] 

  Daisy : I'd kinda like to yell at him in private.

• Daisy : [shooting someone]  That was for touching my cousin... with YOUR DIRTY FILTHY HANDS!

• Daisy : [to Edmond]  What if we can't get through this and there's life on the other side? If there is, I wanna be here. With you. This is how I wanna live. And if all this isn't here and you don't survive, then I don't wanna live at all.

• Isaac : If you want, I can make you a sandwich. We've got some really nice cheese.

  Daisy : No, I don't do wheat or cow cheese.

  Isaac : Why don't you eat "cow cheese"?

  Daisy : Because it's basically solidified cow mucus. It stays in your gut for like five years.

• Isaac : Hey we're gonna go swimming before Sally gets here and makes us eat vegetables. Wanna come?

  Daisy : I don't swim.

  Isaac : It's like a really special place, you'll love it. Last chance to have some fun before the fascist regime.

  Daisy : Uh huh. Maybe next time.

  Isaac : Okay.
